There seems to be some debate as to whether or not this is truly a "rootkit" or not, but it does install hidden directories on the computer; said directories can then be exploited according to the company F-Secure.
I also just read that Sony has decided to either cut the line or make changes.

Heh, I remember reading about this on Engadget. I think they said that the product in question has been phased out already before, and that what you find in the store are just left-overs from a time when the term "rootkit" didn't ring a bell yet.
